Tiny Core Linux Download

Tiny Core Linux is a 12 MB graphical Linux desktop. It is based on a recent Linux kernel, BusyBox, Tiny X, Fltk, and Flwm. The core runs entirely in memory and boots very quickly. The user has complete control over which applications and/or additional hardware to have supported, be it for a desktop.

  • As you can see on the download page, Tiny Core Linux is distributed in three versions: Microcore (the CLI version and Ethernet support) Tiny Core (the GUI version and Ethernet support) Tiny Core Plus (a few GUI versions, Ethernet and WiFi support, and a few more tools) In most cases, I will need to perform PC diagnostics.
  • Note: If you already have a Linux System booting, then you do not need to make a partition for Tiny Core! Tiny Core can run in a single directory in your existing Linux installation. To do so, at step 1, uncheck the option to 'Install boot loader'. At step 2, select an existing partition, and at Step 3, do not format it.

Tiny Core Linux (TCL) is a minimalist Linux system focusing on providing a base system with BusyBox, FLTK, and other minimalist software. The user has complete control over which applications and/or additional hardware to have supported, be it for a desktop, a netbook, an appliance, or server, selectable by the user by installing additional applications from online repositories, or easily compiling most anything you desire using tools provided.

Tiny Core Linux (TCL) is a minimal Linuxoperating system focusing on providing a base system using BusyBox and FLTK, developed by Robert Shingledecker.[2] The distribution is notable for its small size (11 to 16 MB) and minimalism; additional functions are provided by extensions. Tiny Core Linux is free and open source software and is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.

Types of 'Cores'[edit]

'Tiny Core' (16 MB) is the recommended option for new users who have a wired network connection. It includes the base Core system and a dynamic FLTK/FLWMgraphical user interface.[3]

'Core' (11 MB) (also known as 'Micro Core Linux') is a smaller variant of Tiny Core without a graphical desktop, though additional extensions can be added to create a system with a graphical desktop environment.[3]

'dCore' (12 MB) is a core made from Debian or Ubuntu compatible files that uses import and the SCE package format,[4] a self-contained package format for the Tiny Core distribution since 5.x series.

'CorePure64' is a notable port of 'Core' to the x86_64 architecture.

'Core Plus' (106 MB) is 'an installation image and not the distribution'.[3] It is composed of Tiny Core with additional functionality, most notably wireless support and non-US keyboard support.[3]

'piCore' is the Raspberry Pi port of 'Core.'

System requirements[edit]

Minimal configuration:Tiny Core needs at least 46 MB of RAM in order to run, and Core requires at least 28 MB of RAM. The minimum CPU is an i486DX.[5]

Recommended configuration:A Pentium 2 CPU and 64 MB of RAM are recommended for Tiny Core.[5]

Design philosophy[edit]

The developers describe TCL as 'a nomadic ultra small graphical desktop operating system capable of booting from cdrom, pendrive, or frugally from a hard drive.'[6] As of version 2.8.1, the core is designed to run primarily in RAM but with three distinct modes of operation:

  • 'Cloud' or Internet mode — A 'testdrive' mode using a built-in appbrowser GUI to explore extensions from an online application extension repository loaded into RAM only for the current session.
  • TCE/Install — A mode for Tiny Core Extensions downloaded and run from a storage partition but kept as symbolic links in RAM.
  • TCE/CopyFS — A mode which installs applications onto a Linux partition like a more typical Linux installation.[7]
